This is also the first book that starts to get properly horny.
Many of the descriptions are starting to become repetitive - there are only so many times that I can read that someone was "covered in black blood" or had "eyes lined with silver" (just say they're filled with tears jfc). Also the way that Maas describes territorial Fae males is already exhausting, and the lack of nuance between familial vs romantic territorialism makes a big middle chunk of the book seem uncomfortably incest-y.
Overall this is stronger than the first two entries in the series and makes me excited to continue reading, but imo, a small step down in quality from Heir of Fire.

there was a lot of closure for some characters and storylines that also added to the adventure of the story. we also learned about the background of other characters that was always a twist and brought more suspense.
a lot of characters had periods of growth where they were more than what they originally started as within the series, and made them really enjoyable characters. very much excited for the rest of the adventure.
